Overview for this Month: Cancer (All)
February is excellent for getting in touch with your innermost desires, dear Cancer. It's also strong for taking the time to plan and strategize rather than charge ahead, although this can change by the last week of the month. You are a student of human nature this month, including your own. You have little interest in superficial things and relationships. Your strong connection to family or an intimate relationship is prominent now. There can be restored faith and optimism in the important people in your emotional life.
However, while your private life is active, professionally speaking, you're enjoying an invigorating and creative peak. Your charisma is brilliant this month, and you might discover opportunities to meet someone special through business or career-related venues. This a strong period for getting noticed for your performance in a most positive way.
Jupiter has been bringing an exceptionally positive vibe to your domestic projects and home life recently and will continue to do so until October. This month, it begins its four-month retrograde cycle, signaling the need to reassess matters, slow down if you've been biting off more than you can chew, and perhaps make some refinements and tweaks to your plans. Any slowdowns encountered now offer you the chance to look at your plans from a different perspective so that you can move forward with them with more confidence at a later date. Excesses in your domestic life should be recognized and cut down.
Events and circumstances around the 10th can demand a change in your spending habits and budget. You are receiving a cosmic push to make necessary financial changes in your life. Get organized as much as possible now. If you've been underutilizing a particular resource or asset, and this can include a talent, then you'll see this clearly now.
There can be excellent opportunities to open up communications about deeper needs and desires this month. Intimate relationships can thrive.
From the 18th, you'll be spending less time reflecting and ruminating and more time living spiritedly. As the days of the month advance, you feel more outgoing and perhaps even a little adventurous. There can be quite a bit of pressure on you (some of it self-imposed) to perform, advance, and push your career or duties, yet a powerful desire to stick close to home and family. Something has to give, so aim to know your reasonable limits. Relationships can be demanding and draining, and this needs to change for you to live your life more authentically. The desire to break free from situations that restrict or limit you is strong, and this can be positive if it gives you the courage to make long overdue changes. Watch carefully, however, for a tendency to push your limits with bosses, parents, or teachers now.
The Solar Eclipse on the 26th helps clear the path to new beginnings related to publishing, sharing, traveling, and learning. If you've been holding back from extracurricular activities for whatever reason, this is a time for making plans to pursue your interests boldly.
Cancer (Born June 22 to July 1) and Cancer Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Cancer:February 2017 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
Overview. The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness Until February 18th: The Sun continues to highlight your solar eighth house. Your attention turns inward, as well as to close personal relationships on a deeper level. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other's money, such as the resources of a partner, inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes. You are more intense in your mood and disposition, and perhaps even secretive, at this time of year. You are more in touch with the deeper and even primal elements of your own personality, and more able to see these things in others. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively. From February 18th forward: This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details. Eclipses A Lunar Eclipse Occurs on February 10th: A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings. The Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar second house. Surprises surrounding your personal finances and possessions are in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of personal finances is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination or fruition of a financial project, an event involving personal possessions that holds your attention, a sudden money-making opportunity, a flurry of activity resulting from a financial matter, and other such possibilities. A Solar Eclipse Occurs on February 26th: A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings. The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar ninth house, suggesting that a new approach to the way you expand your horizons, be they physical or mental (or both). New travel plans, education goals, or adventures may be formed in the coming months, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to expand your personal world is a strong potential. This is a phase when you will be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life. Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort Until February 3rd: Venus continues to grace your solar ninth house. During this cycle, your ideals in love are set high. You might become inspired by a loved one now, or someone might awaken a new perspective or way of thinking in you. You could also enjoy a trip, or a new adventure of sorts. In fact, you are attracted to anything that is non-routine and fare best when you are reaching out beyond your usual bounds. You might be attracted to people or even objects that are exotic or different in some way during this cycle. It's a good period for personal charm and attractiveness in general. From February 3rd forward: Venus graces your solar tenth house now. During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come through your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who come across as especially competent. Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation Until February 7th: Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house. You can be especially aware of your "audience" in your communications now, which tend to be diplomatic and respectful during this cycle. You may be encountering an especially chatty or communicative partner, or meeting youthful, talkative people. At this time, you love to hear others' opinions and perspectives, and it's an excellent time to do so. Others can spur on your own thinking and decision making processes now, simply by offering another perspective. You are thinking a lot about others, a partner, and relating in general, and in some cases perhaps worrying over these things. From February 7-25: Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing. Research is also highly favored. It's easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances. From February 25th forward: Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture. You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now. Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage All month: Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house now. You bring much energy, enthusiasm, and drive to your career or to directing activities in your life during this cycle. You may be quite competitive during this period, preferring to achieve and accomplish things on your own. This attitude can, in some cases, be seen by others as an instigating or otherwise offensive energy, so be aware of that possibility. This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push or oomph to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated, and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose. Overview Horoscope: February is excellent for getting in touch with your innermost desires, dear Cancer. It's also strong for taking the time to plan and strategize rather than charge ahead, although this can change by the last week of the month.

Cancer (Born July 2 to 12)
|
February 2017 |
Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.
All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets.
This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until February 8th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar seventh house--your partnership sector. This can be a time of much learning through the mirror of close relationships. It's not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, it's a cycle in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life.
It's a strong period for putting yourself into another person's shoes and to better understand him/her. You may be meeting with someone strong and assertive by nature now, or a partner is more assertive and needy of attention. There may be some competitive feelings between you and a significant other now. Focus is on reconciliation, forming or cementing bonds, diplomacy, consultation, one-on-one interactions, and negotiations. You may feel a little drained physically now, temporarily.

Any slowdowns encountered now offer you the chance to look at your plans from a different perspective so that you can move forward with them with more confidence at a later date. Excesses in your domestic life should be recognized and cut down.
Events and circumstances around the 10th can demand a change in your spending habits and budget. You are receiving a cosmic push to make necessary financial changes in your life. Get organized as much as possible now. If you've been underutilizing a particular resource or asset, and this can include a talent, then you'll see this clearly now.
There can be excellent opportunities to open up communications about deeper needs and desires this month. Intimate relationships can thrive.
From the 18th, you'll be spending less time reflecting and ruminating and more time living spiritedly. As the days of the month advance, you feel more outgoing and perhaps even a little adventurous. There can be quite a bit of pressure on you (some of it self-imposed) to perform, advance, and push your career or duties, yet a powerful desire to stick close to home and family. Something has to give, so aim to know your reasonable limits. Relationships can be demanding and draining, and this needs to change for you to live your life more authentically. The desire to break free from situations that restrict or limit you is strong, and this can be positive if it gives you the courage to make long overdue changes. Watch carefully, however, for a tendency to push your limits with bosses, parents, or teachers now.
The Solar Eclipse on the 26th helps clear the path to new beginnings related to publishing, sharing, traveling, and learning. If you've been holding back from extracurricular activities for whatever reason, this is a time for making plans to pursue your interests boldly.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from a previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. Transits don’t suddenly change as the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Lunar Cycles section reveal lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts, and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes, simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
